Toddler Houdini turns 3!!!

That's right, Toddler Houdini's 3rd birthday is today. (Yes, just a day after her sister!) We had planned a special birthday tea party for the girls today. But we decided to postpone that after the Mighty Mrs. J's mom died, and we just had birthday breakfast with the immediate family.

TH is up for any kind of social gathering. It's one of the great things about her, how she's outgoing and loves people.


This is from the night we brought TH home. She was so tiny! It's hard to imagine how we could love this little girl so much, when we didn't even know she existed until a couple of days before. But we knew she belonged in our family as soon as we got the phone call saying she had been born...









The best part of the birthday breakfast? J's dad made the pancakes...


















Of course the cake is pretty exciting too. (That's the Mighty Mrs. J's sister on the left.)















And, of course, the gifts. Will these markers end up being used on our walls? Probably...












And my note to TH: You were a surprise to our family. And what a great, wonderful surprise you are! Your fun, outgoing spirit brings joy to everyone around you. Your mommy and daddy are blessed every day by your sweet, gentle, charming ways. We love you!
